I have the worst luck with bonnets and head scarves. For a wild sleeper like myself I can never get them to stay on. When they do, I have to tie them really tight to the point where it leaves bruising on my forehead and gives me a headache. Not to mention most scarves are made of materials that I hate to feel again my skin at night while I’m in bed. I can truly say this bonnet is comfortable, the elastic band ensures it stays in place without the discomfort of tying it tight to secure it. Another bonus is the length. I love wearing long protective styles but hate to sleep with hair touching my skin. Prior to this purchase, I’d put my hair in a knot at the top of my head and would have slight headache by morning. Thankfully I no longer have to do this. This bonnet is long enough my braids and faux locs, it feels good against the skin, and stays cool at night. One of the best purchases I’ve made for my hair.
